Andy & I ran free lottery contests for several years. When Powerball & Mega Millions drawings became bigger $s and more frequent, it made it impossible to keep up.

I used to run contests where the winner was determined by specific PLAY 4 or PLAY 5 numbers in the Connecticut lottery drawing at a specific time. I realized that was wrong, as a player could wait until a minute before my contest before picking a number. Unfair advantage.

If I can’t find 75 members that want a chance to WIN $75, that’s fine.

I will run the same contest again - starting the Friday after Thanksgiving.
